I have friends who are depressed and yet they still drink. Sometimes, they realize it's a depressant and don't care because it makes them feel better at the time. I suppose some of them don't know.

I kind of figured that is what you were trying to say; just pokin' ya.

When I have a depressive episode I stay way clear of alcohol. Depressive episodes with me can last a couple of days, but that's all. If I ever have another that goes on and on the way it did in '97, I would not hesitate to get back on medication. Mental health is like physical health in that it must be maintained. Some people do it intuitively; some people have to remind themselves.
